Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” tops the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a 12th consecutive week. The hit collaboration now holds the record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 among duets by co-billed lead solo men and women, surpassing Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll Be Missing You” (featuring 112), which topped the charts for 11 weeks in 1997. “Luther” also becomes the longest-leading R&B/hip-hop No. 1 on the Hot 100 this decade, surpassing the 11 week rule for Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” in 2020.
Another historic milestone is set by Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which rises one spot to No. 4, securing a 44th week in the Hot 100 Top 5, surpassing The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” for the most weeks ever spent in the upper tier. Elsewhere in the Top 10 this week, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” remains at its No. 2 peak, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 3, Drake’s “Nokia” falls one spot to No. 5, Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” stays at No. 6, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” remains at No. 7, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” moves up a slot to No. 8, Doechii’s “Anxiety” jumps up one spot to reach a new peak of No. 9, and Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” drops two spots to No. 10.
